Data map of trans-European surveys on alcohol consumption and related matters

As its commitment to the European Commission Alcohol and Health Forum, IAS (Institute of Alcohol Studies) has created a Data Map of English language, trans-European surveys that include questions about alcohol consumption and related matters.

Like the UK Data Map which preceded it, the European Data Map is intended as a resource for researchers with an interest in alcohol issues at the European Union level. This ‘data map' is a first attempt to map out all the publicly available data on alcohol in the EU.

The idea of creating a resource of this kind was born after discovering how much data exists covering a multitude of research questions and how little of it has been used by alcohol researchers to date. If the resource proves popular, then the data map may well be developed into a more sophisticated and user-friendly form.
